Carnations and Roses (2017)

Love is probably the affection that instigated most human thoughts over the centuries, whether in great mythologies, religions, philosophical thoughts, or the arts. All areas discussed in depth the question of love.But, from a cerebral point of view, how does love behave? How does the brain behave in the face of a passion? What happens inside your brain when you are in love? What are the established connections between body and brain when we are in love? Oxytocin. Dopamine. Serotonin. Motivated body. Reward status. Pleasure.
In his new work the choreographer Clébio Oliveira examines the passion from the point of view of the brain. It’s seems like the brain behaves similar to a state of temporary dementia with characteristics of stress, obsession and compulsion.
